## BEFORE: THE HONOt.-',Li\_BLE MR. JUSTICE G. Ab OKE. LLO.

This applico/bicn for- grant of Letters of Administration of the estate of chic deceased, was or. 22.3«9\*! filed in the High Court at its District Registry of Gulu by Tulib Hassan Oola as son of the deceased. The value of the Estate is estimated to be shillings three hundred thousand (300,000/=). Subsequently the application was placed before me for grant of the letters.

When I perused the record in the file, I was of the view that the application is not yet ready for grant because, there is still no evidence that the Notice of the application has been published as required. Secondly, there is no evidence of compliance with the provision of section 6 of the Administrator-General' s Act. This section requires proof that the Administrator-General or his Agent has declined to administer the Estate or that a 14-clear-da.ys Notice in writing of the intention of the applicant to apply for the Letters of Adminstration has been served on the Administrator-General. This section is mandatory. In the circumstances the application is returned to the Registry for the preliminary requirements to be completed before the application is placed before a Judge for grant. <sup>z</sup>-
